Calling All Artists! Design for Fraggle Rock!

Greetings, Muppet fans! We're reaching out to YOU with a very exciting opportunity from our friends at The Jim Henson Company. We mentioned this contest on the site a few weeks ago, but we don't feel like we gave it the spotlight it deserves. The Jim Henson Company is hosting an art competition asking any and all artists to submit their design artwork based on Fraggle Rock! The prizes are multiple and incredibly awesome and the exposure it will bring you as an artist will be even more great. Check out the official press release below...

Since Fraggle Rock's creation in 1983 it has been seen in 80
countries and watched in a least ten different languages and, to this
day, continues to enjoy a loyal international following. In celebration
of Fraggle Rock's 30th anniversary, The Jim Henson Company is inviting
artists to submit artwork* inspired by the world of Fraggle Rock
and it's characters including the Fraggles, The Doozers, Sprocket,
Traveling Matt and the Gorgs. One winner will have their artwork
featured and produced on select merchandise items for Fraggle Rock's
30th anniversary, in addition to receiving a private tour of the Jim
Henson design studios, followed by invitation to Fraggle Rock's 30th
Anniversary party in Los Angeles.

*Artwork may consist of photographs,
paintings, illustrations, drawings, graphic design or collages. Artists
may also create 3D pieces but must submit high-res photographs of those
creations.

The Jim Henson Company's Choice

The winning design will be featured and produced in elements of
Fraggle Rock's 30th anniversary merchandise line, which will be promoted
and sold on their online store. In addition, the winner will receive:

A private tour of The Jim Henson Company and attendance to Fraggle
Rock's 30th anniversary party (travel and two nights' accommodation in
Los Angeles for two provided)

If you are a reader of The Muppet Mindset and plan on submitting a piece to the contest, let us know by emailing us. We would love to feature your work on the site as well! Even more, we'd love to see one of our readers actually win this thing! Good luck to all!
